The clean plate club is giving away a $50.00 gift card to Williams-Sonoma!!! Who wouldn’t love that? I drool over every single one of their catalogs. New utensils, new baking pans, a new casserole dish… Want in? Run over and enter.

Well, this link love comes a little late in the day. K’s birthday was this week. We had a slumber party last night and family party today. Needless to say, mama is a little tired. Worth it, thought – a fun time was had by all. With a 7 year old boy in the house, […]

Here is an early link love.  On The Simple Woman, Peggy is doing a giveaway to help with spring cleaning.  Just in time, too.  With all the sun that is now shining in our windows, I can see how much I need to spruce up!  I love Mrs. Meyers cleaning products – non-toxic, and then […]

I’ve always been a dog person. My mom is allergic to cats, so we never had one growing up. We did have dogs, though – wonderful, incredible dogs. I couldn’t imagine not having dogs in the family. When Hubby and I were first married, we bought a condo. I didn’t want to get a dog […]

Well, folks, this is the week I knuckle down and focus. I want to post here regularly, following some semblance of a schedule – Monday menus and the week’s plan, Tuesday books and/or craft projects, Thursday random thoughts, Friday a highlight from the week, and Saturday a little link love. Given that I am now […]

Well, I thought we were done with sickness here.  I was wrong.  Cue the violins.  It’s time for a pity party.  Just me, my throat coat tea, and Coldeeze.  Sheesh.

One of the Christmas traditions in my family was that you got an orange (and an apple) in your stocking.  It is actually one of the things I looked forward to each year.  I love oranges. They have been on sale lately.  So I have have been buying them by the 10-pound bag full.  Did […]
